Vegetables Fried Rice (Vegetarian Recipe)

This year, Vesak Day coincides with Lunar First day of May. Raised as a Buddhism devoter, we had no reason not to take vegetarian for the day! Everyone in the family had to follow vegetarian diet on each and every Lunar 1st and 15th of the Lunar month since young. So, for this special occasion, I cooked fried rice, with assorted vegetables and vegetarian (mock) meat. I called it Vegetables fried rice.

Taste of my vegetables fried rice was varied from the usual fried rice. It relished more like fried yam rice, as I have added yam it my recipe. I don’t call it a yam rice, as I had also the long beans and Chinese cabbages in it. See, it’s a vegetables rice (smile)! It tasted more robust as compared to fried rice with usual ingredients, but never too overwhelming for a great taste. I love the fragrance of yam taste in the palate, it was kinda addictive (chuckling).

2) Pre-fry yam dices with 1 tablespoon of oil. When yam is half cooked, for about 3 minutes, sprinkle some water into the wok and cover with lid to expedite cooking. Remove cover after 2 minutes, continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes till it is cooked and slightly softened. Remove from wok, and set aside. Same step to pre-cook long beans. Set all ingredients aside.

Yes, one of my readers, Jennsen, requested more vegetables/ vegetarian recipes, here’s one you go (cheers)!

Tips: Since there isn’t any minced garlic or onion for vegetarian dish, I added mock dried shrimps to make my rice more fragrant and to yield more interesting bites with these crunchy mock dried shrimp. Get bottled vegetarian mock dried shrimp/ chili dried shrimp off the shelves at large supermarkets or vegetarian stores.
